The Legendary Downchild Blues Band with special guest (to be announced)

Canada’s best known and best loved blues outfit, THE LEGENDARY DOWNCHILD BLUES BAND make their highly anticipated return to Mary Winspear Centre’s Charlie White Theatre for a not to be missed performance. The band celebrated their 45th Anniversary in style with the release of their Juno Award Blues Album of the Year (2014) “Can You Hear The Music”. With such classic hits as “Flip Flop & Fly”, “I Got Everything I Need (Almost)” and “Shotgun Blues”, Downchild has had a major impact here at home and established serious credentials around the world alongside contemporaries, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker and Buddy Guy. With their signature Jump-blues style and sweet, infectious sound, it’s a sure bet your toes will be tapping and your hips swinging.

For all the hits and awards, THE LEGENDARY DOWNCHILD BLUES BAND is perhaps best known as the inspiration for the Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi hit film The Blues Brothers.  In fact, Dan Aykroyd says, “There would be no Blues Brothers if it weren't for Downchild.” Always inspiring, THE LEGENDARY DOWNCHILD BLUES BAND is sounding and performing better than ever!
